If you were using Windows fonts in Emacs, that could be caused by 
Windows packages that decide it's a good idea to replace your existing 
installed versions of Windows fonts by theirs e.g. LibreOffice updates 
mess up the appearance of all my Windows, X, and Cygwin apps until I 
reboot.

It seems to be caused by their ancient installer approach and aggressive 
font replacement policy.

If something like that could be a cause of your problem, try rebooting 
to see if that clears up the problem.
